Profile Rick Rose’s first band, Lennex, released a Motown cover of “Where Did Our Love Go” on Dave Rave’s Hamilton-based Warpt Records label. The band were lucky enough to tour throughout Canada, the U.S., and Japan. While performing in the eastern U.S., Rose was introduced to legendary rock producer and guitarist Mick Ronson (David Bowie, John Mellencamp, Lou Reed, Mott The Hoople). Ronson was so taken with Rose’s vocal and songwriting abilities that he offered Rose a development deal as a recording artist.

Demo sessions in Toronto with Ronson stirred some excitement within the Canadian music industry followed by Lennex’s Rick Rose/Pat Cass composition “She’s Got It” landing not only a spot on Toronto radio station Q107’s annual ‘Homegrown’ LP, but giving the band a recording contract with Attic Records. Following a line-up change and musical makeover, the act became known as Perfect Affair. Two songs from their debut LP found their way the Top20 in Canada – a remake of “She’s Got It” & “On The Edge”. The album achieved great commercial and critical success in Europe and The UK.
